Diabetes and Whole Health with Dr. Jelina Shah
Manage episode 360209750 series 3331251
ONE IN 10 people are living with diabetes - 1 in 5 don’t even know they have it. 1 in 3 have prediabetes. With so many of us having loved ones with diabetes, having Dr. Jelina Shah, Clinical pharmacist and holistic diabetes health coach seemed natural. She brings her 15 years of healthcare experience to talk with us about our fears around health, shame and blame, and the stigma associated with Diabetes.
In our conversation, Dr. Shah reinforces that it is Important for people to have awareness for themselves, mind body and spirit, and what effects that has on their health. We talk about choices, the definition of healthy, and she shares her belief that chronic disease is a choice.
This episode will inspire you if you or anyone you know has ever felt helplessness and hopelessness in your health.
We also talk about:
- Food is not good or bad – focus on nutrient density
- Scarcity mentality around food
- Willpower is BS
- Toxic positivity
- The inner critic is well-intentioned
- Tending to diabetes without medication
The reminder of this episode is clear - Every moment counts.
